The 2013 Section II Class B Super Bowl was played at Shenendehowa's Steuerwald Stadium, which features a turf field, so there are never any muddy jerseys after a game.

Even if Schalmont had competed on a grass field Saturday afternoon, quarterback Nick Gallo's jersey would have been equally as spotless as it was departing Clifton Park on Saturday after the Sabres demolished Broadalbin-Perth and produced the school's fourth Super Bowl title in five years.

Gallo completed 9 of 9 passes for 144 yards and added 65 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Senior running back Devon Willis registered 128 yards and four touchdowns, helping Schalmont enjoy an astounding 449-70 edge on offense against the Patriots.

"If we win up front, we win the game. We dominated that game up front," Schalmont senior tackle Marcus Ramundo said.

"They are a great group of guys, led by Marcus Ramundo," Gallo said. "He has brought the veterans together with the young guys and made it all work. You have to trust those guys. ... Without the play of our line, our offense goes nowhere. They are the most important part of the whole game."

"They are not the biggest group," Schalmont coach Joe Whipple said. "They work very hard in the weight room and on their technique. For the most part, that is what we take pride in. (Schalmont offensive line coach) Pete Rings has really helped this group with getting good at the little things."

The Sabres (10-0), ranked No. 4 in the state, next travel to AuSable Valley for Saturday's state quarterfinal contest against Section VII champion Beekmantown (6-4). Game time is 1.

Saturday's victory was Schalmont's second win over Broadalbin-Perth (8-2), but it was the first time the offensive line felt it won its matchup. The Sabres won 21-3 at Broadalbin-Perth in Week 4, yet the score was just 7-3 in the fourth quarter.

"It was awful, and odd. I don't really know what happened. Nothing they did that game is what we taught them," Whipple said. "We kind of lit into them after that game."

"That game taught that we had to pick it up to another level," Paskevich said. "We have great athleticism on the line. We are aggressive."

"We needed to step up. They beat us up front, and that is how we looked at it," Ramundo said. "The Super Bowl shows how we worked hard. We improved every game up front after the first game with them."

Gallo, who switched from running back to quarterback prior to the Johnstown game, said he saw during the practices leading into Saturday the offensive line was properly motivated.

"The whole thing during the week was 'We lost that game up front with them.' That wasn't going to happen again. They talked all week, saying, 'Let's get it done, let's get it done.' They got it done on Saturday," Gallo said.

"That is exactly how I wanted (the Section II portion of my career) to end," Paskevich said. "(Gallo) appreciates the way we block for him. It's great."

Schalmont has averaged 371 yards on offense, including 253 yards rushing. Willis, a first-team Class B state all-star in 2012, tops the team with 870 yards and 16 touchdowns despite a season riddled by injury.

"We've had a lot of adversity this season. We really want to get back to the (Carrier) Dome," Ramundo said. "We want to keep doing our jobs well, so we have to get to our blocks quickly and then the backs have to read our blocks. The quicker we get out there, the easier it is for them to read what we're doing."
